SIBI-P1 H6485-73
and he appointed him
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 3ms of פקד with 3ms pronominal suffix ("him"). The Hiphil stem conveys causative action; the form advances narrative sequence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Hiphil wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, indicating "and he caused to appoint/oversee him." In the Hiphil stem פקד commonly carries the causative sense of setting someone over a charge or entrusting responsibility, so "and he appointed him" preserves both the causative force and the masculine singular object "him." |
